I'm not saying you should be, I'm just asking if you are. My opinion on this matter is not important. I'm just asking for yours.

He has no right to read my mail, no matter how dull and boring it is

yes, I am. However, it is not only the mail I am worried about. It is everything this administration is doing in the name of defending this country against terrorists. I know that what I am saying is unpopular but I am still one of the few that believe in the BILL OF RIGHTS and the sanctity of our Constitution. Check out a movie called JUDGMENT AT NUREMBERG. There is a great line in there, where the judges are debating right and wrong, and what America should stand for... I can`t remember the exact quote, but it has something to do with what separates us from our enemies, and how we can make the mistake of becoming just like them if we, in our zeal to preserve our way of life, forfeit our way of life and become just what we are fighting against.
The government has no right to invade our privacy, has no right to listen to our conversations without a warrant and has no right to read our mail, check out the books we read, monitor our opinions. If we give up those rights, well then, we become what we are struggling against: rabid, radical fanatics who will do anything at any cost to get what they want.

Of course I'm worried, Anyone with a brain should be! The congress is slowly taking away all of our civil rights and the president is only a pawn in a larger game of control. Congress had to approve the law. Our supreme court is the only remaining check and balance. You should all consider voting any incumbent out of office at each election until we get back to our constitutional ideals. Our votes can protect and restore us but not if we keep wasteing them on Democrats and Republicans!!!!
Consider Libertarian in the future! Get the Government out of our lives!!!!

This is nothing new, only more aware because of 9/11, When I came back to the states from Colombia ( 1988) and my wife stayed there for awhile our mail was always opened before it entered the country, then it was and maybe still is because of drugs, and it was also marked with tape saying it had been opened..

It's one more step toward monitoring your phone calls, cameras pointing outside your houses, unwarranted search and seizures and eventually quartering of soliders and martial law.
I am extremely worried. Those who say that have nothing to hide will be the first to go to the gulag.

If the president wants to read about how he can get penis pumps on the cheap, a bunch of terrible stock tips and how me and my firends got utterly pissed up last weekend then no I'm not really worried!
I'm sure he has much more pressing things to do tho!

Not at all ; but I do worry about the power crazed liberals trying to put more government in our daily lives ; and I worry about the masses they've got tricked into believing their widespread scams to accomplish it .

Aside from the fact that my mail makes for pretty dull reading, I wasn't actually aware that the president knew how to read.

Not really, my mail is not that interesting, but from a national standpoint, we should all be concerned....What would be next?
